Re: Arrive & Mingle - 06/27.

Ignis would be thrilled they were going to be eaten. Would despair about the pockets, but be thrilled nonetheless.

"It goes, in a small part, back to the utter ridiculousness of how the country was run," she explained, a slight smile on her face. Liliana did adore teaching. "So, in addition to the Seven Clans, Benalia had a complex caste system that changed with the lunar year; the highest caste became the lowest and the process repeated. And the lowest caste of Benalish women were...subservient...to all higher casted men."

A nice way to put it.

"So there were all kinds of inheritance and laws about children and who counted as part of a clan and who did not, who got acknowledged and when, and when even a subset of women are subservient for a year, it still shifts how society sees all women, even the highest who are kept isolated and away from anyone else during their lower casted years."
